“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” – 2 Timothy 4:1-5 (ESV)
As Followers of Christ, it’s essential that we’re prepared at all times to bring His Word and message to those around us. As we see the world around us drift further and further from God’s Truth, and people “adjust” Scriptural meaning to suit their own desires, we’re called to remain committed to Jesus’ teachings, and to patiently share His message of love and hope with others.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
Amen! I pray my life always lines up with God’s Word so others may see Jesus shining in me and be drawn to Him.
This is so true! We never know when God will give us a chance to minister to someone. Thank you for this reminder.

Good words. One of many reasons for regular Bible study and memorization of verses – both holy habits that I work on inconsistently but hope to improve in 2012. Thanks Phil
seems like we all are on the same page with being more into His word..
Phil,
We were given the word of God so we spread the word of God into world. May my life be pleasing to the Lord and the world see the light Jesus shine through me.
Blessings to you Phil.
